Our orthodontist, Dr. Paul Styrt, will examine your teeth to determine the best treatment for you. He’ll provide you with a customized plan outline, which will also cover the duration and cost of treatment. At this appointment, we’ll also get you digital scans and x-rays.

Your fitting appointment

After your consultation, you're one step closer to achieving the smile you've always wanted.

From the information you have provided so far, it seems that Invisalign (invisible aligners) may be the best option for you, but we will need to see you for a full assessment.

Leave us your details and we will be in touch to arrange your free consultation.

Speed of treatment

You have indicated that the speed of your treatment is important to you - we have orthodontic solutions including Invisalign Lite which could be the most viable options for you.

Discretion

You have indicated that the discretion of your treatment is important to you. We have a variety of possible solutions which could meet your needs, including Invisalign aligners which are made of a clear plastic which makes them virtually invisible so no-one will know you're wearing them.

Painless

You have indicated that a lack of pain is important to you when it comes to receiving orthodontic treatment. We have a variety of possible solutions which could meet your needs, including Invisalign aligners which are designed to gradually move your teeth into their correct positions, meaning you will experience less pain than with traditional braces.

Avoiding regular appointments

You have indicated that avoiding regular appointments during your treatment is important to you. With Invisalign, fewer adjustments are needed and the sets of aligners will be provided for you to apply yourself. You won't experience the kind of emergencies sometimes associated with traditional braces either, meaning fewer visits.

Cost/payment plans

We may be able to offer a variety of payment plans which can often help make treatment more affordable. These plans, along with the cost of treatment are specific to every case, dependent on what you are looking to acheive. We will discuss all the options at your consultation.
